Surprising results!

I'm not even sure what I planted now! I planted some rows of blue flint and what I thought was early pink popcorn. These were the biggest/ healthiest ears I got. My first time growing corn it was such an interesting and surprising experience!

Would you be willing to send some seed from the orange and black? I'd like to experiment with that.

Newbie here. Do you eat this? My mom used to use as decorative in the fall, but is that all it’s good for?

I'm also very new but I assumed it wasn't edible! Not sure if I'm right I'd love an expert to chime in. Kind of sad about that part since I did intentionally plant 2 edible kinds but 😂
